Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

GermanyThe shower cabin was relatively small, the breakfast was good but very basic, the staff in the restaurant was very reserved and seemed lazy (they did not ask customers if they need anything hot).
Great location in the heart of Praia, very clean room with a comfortable bed, big balcony with a stunning view, friendly and helpful staff at the reception.

United KingdomI was overcharged for my room (as the higher-quality double room I booked was not available but I was still charged up-front for that room but then given a lower-quality twin room). I was repeatedly ignored when I tried to resolve the matter with the manager. This became a cat-and-mouse game of me trying to find and talk to the manager to resolve the matter over a period of 3 days. And I have still been ignored several weeks following my stay, with no offer to recompense me. As a result I fell like I have been treated with disdain, an experience I have never yet had after 30 years of business travel in over 60 countries worldwide.

MozambiqueCant think of a particular thing I didn't like at this hotel.
This is my third visit to Santiago and 3rd stay at this hotel! The location is excellent for the purpose of my visit, as its located in a beautiful area of the city and in a walking distance to almost everything. The Plateau (where the hotel is located) is a very classic area of the city with beautiful buildings and streets. Very easy and safe to walk, and many food options at walking distance. The hotel service is excellent, from the General Manager to the Housekeeping ladies. All do their best for your comfort, and make sure you have what you need. They also provide airport shuttle (paid) at request, and the driver will be waiting at the airport with your name. If I return to Praia, no doubt will be there again.

PortugalWe spent 1 night here after our 2 weeks Cabo Verde trip before we flew back home and we just needed a comfortable, air-conditioned room to relax. This hotel is perfect for it: clean and big room, with comfortable bed and with a super-nice staff. We also liked the breakfast and the view from our room. Absolutely recommended

CanadaNot at all very bad experience. This hotel is very bad. I stayed and payed for 3 nights with my visa card and then he cancelled my booking and mentioned no show and charged me additionnal one night because I decided to leave the hotel the next day. When I arrived the room was not made and he called someone to fix the bathroom then I decided to change the room and in the new room the air condition was not working well there was water on the floor. I called the receptionist at 2am in the morning and I didnt sleep at all. the Manager was very rude and didnt want to give me back my money even though I only slept one night in the hotel and I paid for 3 night.

United StatesThe room has very dark decor. We also had several issues with the room. First, the hallway to our room smelled very musty. The lights in the hallway only worked half the time. Inside our room, more than half the lights didn't work, so it was difficult to see anything in half the room. In addition, the bathroom counter was dirty, and there was mildew/mold on the ceiling. The water pressure in the shower was variable. The minibar was not stocked and the fridge was dripping brown water. We did not have issues with internet, but the wifi was not working in half the hotel during our stay. While the staff was very helpful, the manager was unresponsive. He was contacted multiple times about the issues in our room and did not respond. We also witnessed a phone call in which he hung up on his staff.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. When we had trouble booking a tour, they arranged one for us. Ady was also extremely helpful with addressing issues that occurred overnight. The breakfast was delicious and had a lot of options.

BelgiumThe wifi was terrible. The first day, the wifi in my room was not working and I couldnt get another room until the next day. The second day I got a new room and everything worked well. The 3rd day however, the wifi was not working again. Not even in the reception area, Also breakfast was very poor.
Good location, and really big rooms with a nice view over the city. Good beds, and quiet yet still with a good choice of bars and restaurants nearby.
